OUR WORK

EXPERIMENTATION, FAILURE AND NEW IDEAS

At the heart of the James Dyson Foundation are new ideas and ways of thinking. Our work encourages young minds to explore engineering and learn the importance of hands-on experimentation.

But those new ideas aren't limited to engineering. We also donate to medical and scientific research, as well as supporting the local community near Dyson's offices in Malmesbury (UK).
